The national convention of the national de atic party will be held at Indianapolis the first week in Sep- | tember. There was unanimity in the conference on th ction of the name of the national democratic party, and a.soin determining to distinguish the tivo parties by referring to those sup- porting the Chicago platform as the populist democratic party. There was a conference before the provisional na- tional committee met, at which it was decided to call a convention and rominate another national ticket. The telegram from Pr lent Cleve- land was regarded by allas ir ting his sympathy with the movement. Every mention of the president’s name as loudly cheered. ien. John M.

Outhwaite, of Ohio, as chairman of the committee on a call for the convention and plan of or, reported the following, which was re- peatedly interrupted by applause in its reading, and adopted unanimously: To the democrats of the United States national nization, A political party has ito san association of voters e suc- cess of political principle held in common The democratic party, during its whole his- tory, has been pledged to promote the liberty of the individual, the security of private rights and property, and the supremacy of the mt stable sted up- honor of ation pd by the re aba f the ft has always insis money for the peoy on the mainte ce of the finance he nation, as well as upon the aviolate of the institutions establ constitution.

The ic party will, therefore, cease to exist unless it be preserved by untary action of such of adhere to the fundamental principles. jority of the members of that convention, hi ever large, had any right or power to surren those principles. When they undertook to do So, that assemblage ceased to be a democ convention. The a taken, the proceedings and the platform enune that body were and are u rly and bly revolutionary ¢ departures from the principles of true demo: racy, which should characterize a sound and patriotic administration of our country’s af- fairs,that its results are not entitled to the con- Qdence or support of true democrats. For the first time since national parti formed, there is not before the Amer: ple a platform declaring the principles of the democratic party, as recognized and most courageously and consistently administered by Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland, nor are there nominees for the offices of president its members and vice president of the United States pledged tos carry ~~ those _ principles into practical effect. The faithful and true democrats of the United States are jetermined that their principles shall not be ruthlessly surrendered, nor the people be de- prived of an opportunity to vote for candidates in accord therewith. Therefore, the national democratic party of the United States, through its regularly con- stituted committee, hereby calls a national convention of that party, for the announce- ment of its platform and the nomination of candidates for president and vice president of the United States, and the transaction of such business as is incidental thereto, to be held at Indianapolis on Wednesda: the 2d day of September, 1898, at 12 o'clock noon, and hereby request that the members of the party in the several states who believe in sound money and the preservation of law and order and who are unalterably opposed to the platform adopted and candidates nomi- nated at Chicago, will ct, in such manner as to them shall seem best. a number of dele- gates to the same, equal totwice the number of electoral votes to which “such states are respectively entitled. Such delegates shall be duly accredited, according es of the democratic party. Their Is shall be forwarded or delivered tot Ty of this committee with ali venient speed, and this committee will make up and announce the roll of the delegates & dito part uate in the preliminary org 1 of the convention.

PLATFORM, Following is the platform as adopted The democrats of Missiouri, in state convention assembled, heartily indorse the platform adopted by the national democratic convention which assembled at Chicago on July 7, and the nomination of William J. Bryan and Arthur Sewall for presi- dent and vice-president of the United States. We believe the platform to be an honest and explicit declara- tion of fundamental democratic prin- ciples, and that the election of the candidates standing upon it will re- store the country’s prosperity and bring relief to a suffering people. We demand the immediate restor- ation of the free and unlimited coin- age of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without wait- ing for the aid or consent of any othor natioa. We demand that the standard silver dollar ehall be a full legal tender, equa'ly with gold, for all debts, public and private, and we favor such lecislation will pre vent the demonetization of any kind of legal tender money by private contract. {nu the field of national politics the democratic party has placed it- self so emphatically on the side of the people in their struggle against excessive taxation, profligate expend- itures and a vicious monetary sys- tem, that on this ground alone it would be entitled to the support of every citizen who is in sympathy | * with the people in their effort to! bring about better condition: but in Missouri the party has a special claim upon this support by reason of its record in the administration | of the State Government and fin-| ances.

The common schools and higher ed- ucation have been liberally fostered and the school system of Missouri, crowned by the State University, 1s over Republic. We invite the attention of the peo- ple to this record and await with confidence their verdict. We pledge the Democratic party to continuance of the wise, economi cal and progressive policy that has marked its past administration.

WHAT HE SAID. Churman James K. Jones Corrects a Statement. Washington, D. C, August 5 — Chairman Jones of the Democratic National Committee corrects certain misapprehensions which have arisen from published interviews with him within the last day or two. “I did not say that Mr. Bryan would not accept the Populist nomi- nation,” said Mr. Jones, “for J have no authority to say that. I did not iy that as a general rule the South- ern n Populists were nota creditable class. On the contrary, I said that most of them were patriotic men who were working for a cause: that they were Populists because they believed they could promote their cause best through a new party, and that now they would support Bryan becauze it was shown that their patriotic ob- jects could be attained only through his election. This is what I said of the Southern Populists as a rule. As an exception, I spoke of the class who were not creditable. I said there were some who were Populists merely for their personal advance. ment; some who had become Popu lists through eelfish and not patriot ic motives. I spoke of there as the class, who would not support Mr. Bryan. I said that as a rule the Populists in the South would follow the patriotic course and support Bryan; that there were some who, for selfish motives would not do so, but would prefer to have McKinley elected.” exceptional What's! the ue ot Talking About colds and coughs in the su miertime.
